Aristolochic acid, found in the Aristolochia species, causes aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN) and can develop into renal failure. Methylglyoxal (MGO) is a highly cytotoxic compound generated from the metabolic process of glucose or fatty acids. It binds to proteins and forms N-epsilon-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), which contributes to aging and diabetes mellitus complications. However, no relevant literature explores the relationship of MGO and CML with AAN. By injecting AA (10 mg/kg BW) into C3H/He mice for 5 consecutive days, we successfully developed an AAN model and observed tubular atrophy with decreased renal function. Creatinine clearance also decreased from 10.32 +/- 0.79 ml/min/kg to 2.19 +/- 0.29 ml/min/kg (p
